Converting to Refrigerated Air - Everything El Paso Homeowners need to know

Are you tired of battling the El Paso heat with your outdated evaporative cooler? 🌞 In this episode of the Quality Air Mechanical Podcast, we cover everything you need to know about converting to refrigerated air and why it’s the ideal choice for homeowners in El Paso, Texas.

Evaporative Cooling VS Refrigerated Air

Evaporative Cooling

  • Cooling Mechanism: Uses evaporation of water to cool the air. Works well in dry climates but struggles in high humidity.
  • Effectiveness: Cooling efficiency decreases significantly during hot, humid conditions, which makes it less reliable during summer rains.
  • Humidity: Adds moisture to the indoor air, which can be beneficial in dry climates, but can make the home uncomfortable during humid weather.
  • Energy Efficiency: Generally uses less electricity compared to refrigerated systems but is less effective, especially during peak heat
  • Air Quality: Pulls in outdoor air, which can bring dust and allergens inside if filters are not well maintained.
  • Maintenance: Requires frequent maintenance, such as pad replacement, cleaning, and ensuring the water supply is working.
  • Installation Cost: Lower initial installation costs, making it a budget-friendly option for cooling.
  • Cooling Coverage: Best suited for open areas and provides limited cooling for larger homes, as the effect weakens with distance.
  • Noise Level: Generally louder, as there are large fans which create noise throughout the ducts.
  • Health Considerations: Can increase the risk of mold or mildew due to increased humidity and may bring in outdoor pollutants if not maintained well.

Refrigerated Air (AC)

  • Cooling Mechanism: Uses a compressor and refrigerant to cool the air, providing consistent and reliable temperature control.
  • Effectiveness: Maintains consistent temperatures regardless of humidity levels, ideal for the extreme and dry heat of the southwest.
  • Humidity: Removes humidity from the air, ensuring a comfortable and dry environment, which is beneficial for preventing mold and mildew.
  • Energy Efficiency: Uses more electricity than evaporative coolers, but modern units are highly efficient and result in lower utility bills.
  • Air Quality: Uses filtered air that recirculates, reducing the amount of dust, pollen, and allergens inside the home, improving indoor air quality.
  • Maintenance: Requires annual maintenance for efficiency, such as checking refrigerant levels and cleaning coils.
  • Installation Cost: Higher initial installation costs but adds value to the home and provides better comfort and energy savings.
  • Cooling Coverage: Provides even cooling across all rooms of the home, ensuring the entire space remains comfortable.
  • Noise Level: Newer refrigerated air systems are designed to run quietly, providing a more comfortable indoor experience.
  • Health Considerations: Provides better indoor air quality by reducing moisture levels and filtering out allergens, making it healthier for those with respiratory issues.
